IMPROVEMENT IN BLACKSMITHS NIPPER AND CLINCHER.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 195,441,

dated September 25, 1877 application filed March 7, 1877.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, NATHAN New Albany, in the county of Union and State of Mississippi, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Tools for Nipping and Olinching Horseshoe-Nails; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it pertains to make and use it, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which form part of this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement of a tool for horseshoeing, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

In the annexed drawing, which fully illustrates my invention, A represents a bar of suitable dimensions, one end of which is curved, as shown, to form an ordinary nipping-jaw, B. The other end of the bar A is extended, and forms the angular clinchingjaw O.

D and D are two handles, pivoted by rivets or other means to opposite ends of the bar A, and on opposite sides. The handle D is BROWN, of formed with the nippingjaw B, while the handle D is formed with the straight clinching-jaw 0. Both handles form at their outer ends rings E, for the insertion of the thumb in using either end of the tool.

I This tool combines two different tools in one, so that the blacksmith, in shoeing a 5 horse, need not put one down and pick another up, but has them always in hand both I for nipping and clinching the nails.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

The bar A, formed with the nipping-jaw B and clinchingjaw O, in combination with the handles D D, formed with the jaws B and 0, respectively, for the purposes herein set forth.
